Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalize young people and racists use to spread violence and hatred and in case there are posts, these need to be taken down ASAP.

If you make something, you definitely have to take responsibility for it, regardless what comes out of it. It's like defects coming from a product. If a car is leaking something bad like oil or gas, the manufacturer definitely has to fix it. Same thing for social media platforms.

It is critical that efforts are taken by all online service providers and social networks to bring our communities closer together and to further crack down on those that spread violence and hatred online
